A well written beach/vacay read.
A beautiful read that will get you all up in your feels for a few minutes. Not so much to mess with your emotions, but a feel-good, there is joy after sadness, kind of light reading. The mind-picture that is painted of the story location is gorgeous and romantic. You can almost feel the sun on your face, the cold condensation on your glass and the sand between your toes.

wonderful read
Lauren is grieving after the loss of her whole world tragically. She is in the business of planning the happiest day of people’s lives, but it is taking a toll on her while she is still battling her own loss. She gets away to the beach of Rodanthe, North Carolina, but on a working trip vacation as she can’t sit still. She worked as an assistant to a small boutique bed and breakfast. In Chapter 2, we jump to a different person and timeline. I’m unsure what Penelope and Phillip have to do with this story and jumping back so long ago.Finally, we glimpse something in a flashback that makes more sense and ties the storyline with them. The bracelet is the catalyst between the here and now and back then. This book has a lot of dealing with grief over the unexpected loss of a loved one. Lauren is battling her own inner issues. We do get a little bit of closed-door romance between Lauren and Brody, but I like that they keep it casual. I also like the Going Family in the Beach summary read. Her family finds her in more ways than one in this book. This story is full of surprises, from grief recovery to newfound family and friends and, of course, a few riptides as well to pull you back to the time jumps. But they make so much more sense now. This book ends wonderfully and so much more than I expected. It was a slow burn with a friends-to-lovers storyline, but I adored the setting and the sea glass.

A magical book
I will give this book a high five. Couldn’t put book down. Jenny knows how to tell a story. I wanted to be part of the family. Great read.

great summer read
What a wonderful read. It’s a great storyline, but I wish that it had ended with Brody & Lauren getting married.

Luck is the leading lady
Loved all the characters. I liked all the attention to details. Thou the story moved from the present to the past often, the writer always kept you in the loop. The author really emerged you into the story, you where there living Life right along with the characters. Lots of twist and turns of events to keep ones interest peaked and turning pages. Sweet story about life and relationships.

great beach read
Perfect combination of loss and love and moving on. Great beach read based in the outer banks. Definitely worth the read

Decent
It was a fine story with nice characters. Brody was way too pushy for me. Lauren repeatedly told him she didn’t want to talk about herself but he just kept at it. Also, the romance was a little flat because it was plainly obvious that Lauren wasn’t ready for anything and was still in love with Mason. Poor Alicia got it the worst though. Married and devoted herself to a guy who never cared about her at all. Brutal for her.
